What does 'full tire wear' mean for motorcycles?
1 Answers
Tire wear marks extend to the edge of the tire, commonly referred to as aggressive cornering where the tire is fully worn. Below are relevant details about tires: 1. Wear: Tires have wear indicators; there are triangular marks on the sidewall, and it is recommended to replace the tire when wear reaches the point indicated by the triangle. Inside the tire tread grooves, there are also raised markers—when wear reaches these markers level with the tire surface, replacement is necessary. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing replacement, but bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, reducing grip. Therefore, even unused tires will have a reduced lifespan. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date, which is marked on the tire sidewall.
